That what I was thinking, 30 pounds is a lot. Not that my jeep will be a light weight by any means but it can't hurt. The aluminum would be even better but I would be worried about rocks and stuff gouging it and sticking. Jim, whats your thought on getting the radius pressed? Would I need a custom die made ($$$$$$) or is that possible with something common?

Let me look into it. Do we know the exact inside radius that it would need to be?

Stainless is heavy & gouges fairly easy. I would opt for steel myself.
